CDO stages Run for Odyssey

MANILA, Philippines - CDO-Foodsphere Inc., the company behind the CDO, San Marino and Highlands food brands, is holding a fun run to support its cause for children nutrition and as part of its 40th anniversary celebration.

Thousands of CDO Foodsphere employees, industry partners, loyal customers and supporters are expected to join the fun run on Nov. 8 at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.

The event,  dubbed CDO @ 40: Run for Odyssey, will have 5K, 10K, and 21K groups for both male and female categories. It is sponsored by CDO, San Marino Tuna and Highlands Corned Beef.

Registrations are held at Chris Sports outlets in Glorietta, SM North Edsa, SM Megamall, SM MOA, SM BF Homes and Market Market.

“We wish to cap off this year’s celebration through a meaningful activity that signifies our thrust of continuously nourishing the lives of Filipinos,” says Jules Burton, senior manager for human resources of CDO-Foodsphere.

The run for a cause aims to support the social advocacies of Odyssey Foundation Inc. (OFI), the corporate social responsibility arm of CDO-Foodsphere.

“Proceeds of the sports event will go to the supplemental feeding programs of the OFI,” Burton says.

OFI has served over 1.2 million meals to over 18,000 thousand malnourished children through supplemental feedings which have been administered from Sta. Ana, Cagayan in the north to Jaro, Leyte in the south.

“When you run for Odyssey, you not only get up to the challenge of proving yourself in your chosen run category but you also help nourish the lives of thousands of undernourished children in the country,” says Burton.
